Apple backup Id unknown

Screen reads
The attached device has a backup password set. You need to disable th backup password in iTunes to continue. Start iTunes , remove the backup password and start this program again.
So I go to I tunes back up
There is a check mark on encrypt local backup with CHANGE PASSWORD in the box
I try to remove the check
and get
enter password to unlock your iPhone backup
Finally my question
How can I get that password
I don't know it

"The attached device has a backup password set. You need to disable th backup password in iTunes to continue. Start iTunes , remove the backup password and start this program again."
The above words has also come to me when I upgrade my iPhone 4. As I remembered, I tried many ways, finally, it was "iPhone Backup Unlocker" helped me disabled my backup password in iTunes and then I get access to my phone quickly! All my data on phone are still safe!

ITunes 10.5 and Apple Backup won't run correctly for update to iOS 5.

I'm trying to update my iPhone 3GS to OS 5. When I update to iTunes 10.5, click update, and begin the backup that's required before updating to OS 5, iTunes and Apple Backup get stuck in an endless death loop. The striped bar in the top window of iTunes just keeps spinning and it claims to be backing up the phone. But this continues for several hours and the update to OS 5 never starts. I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 10.5 several times because updating to OS 5 requires iTunes 10.5. I've got plenty of RAM and a 2.0GHz computer.

Ok, here is what worked for me. Copied from sodaboy581's post:
Posted this in another thread! Sounds stupid, but this will actually work.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
4. Restart iTunes.
Problem solved.
At least this fixed it for me on my own Windows 7 x64 installation. I had AppleMobileDevice.exe, APSDaemon.exe, and iTunes.exe all at 25% CPU simply from opening up iTunes.
25% CPU for me is 100% CPU per core since I have 4 cores.
Got it from another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3383549?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks, sodaboy!!

One caveat is that the iPhone (mine is a 4S) doesn't "wake up" while this is happening and hitting the "Home" button does not display "slide to cancel" as it usually does during a backup. Oh well, it still worked!

Restore macbook pro with apple "Backup 3.1.2" software.

Last month my 12 and 17 inch powerbook G4 were stolen. I did have backups on 2 external hard drives. One was a manual back up (drag/drop) and the other I used the apple "backup 3.1.2" software. I was trying to restore my new macbook pro from the apple backup software. I kept receiving errors. Is backup 3.1.2 compatible with 10.5.6 and/or how can I restore all my data to my new macbook pro? Thanks and appreciate the help.

I know it's not very helpful, but to answer your question regarding compatibility, I use Backup 3.1.2 to backup specific sensitive data to a secure web-space every night. I have had an occasion to need something from that backup and have had no problems with restores. 3.1.1 is the 10.5 cutoff, as I recall.
Couple of thoughts as I was putting this reply together. Where are you storing the resulting backup data, maybe there was a problem with the write between your computer and that location? I bring this up because you might have other data on that drive which may need to be looked at. This really does you no good now, but the backup program also creates logs in your console which you can review. If there were problems, you can look there to see what the issue(s) are.
Final thoughts, is your entire backup corrupted, or just portions of it? In other words, can you get SOME data out of the backup, or can you not even open the file? If you have a drag/drop backup I would at least start with that and see how much of your data you can get restored.
Hopefully some of that helps. Been in your shoes and it's not fun. Good luck!

good morning, you may want to try the server status page.
As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

How will Apple Backup 3 behave when destination drive is full?

I have one external drive I use with time machine and a second that I schedule some backups using Apple Backup 3.1.2(v374). My destination drive is almost full and I'm wondering what will happen once it fills up? Will the backups start erroring out? I'm just trying to figure out if there is any way to have it function as time machine does...deleting the oldest copies, etc. Thanks.

Hi whmcqueary;
Never having used Backup I am not sure of the answer but my money would be on erroring out instead of deleting old backups.

HT4859 MobleMe, Apple Backup, a non-iOS device, and iCloud

If I undrstand correctly, when MobleMe dies in a few weeks, the Apple Backup program will only backup your computer's info to local hard drives as it does NOT use iCloud?

Hi,
The Apple App is called Messages on both iOS and Mac OS X devices.
The iOS version on iPhone can send SMS to non iOS devices.
At present (although rumoured to be coming) the Mac version cannot SMS to iPhone or non iOS devices.
However IF you have an AIM Login (AND some Apple issued IDs are valid AIM logins) and the person is using US phone on one of these carriers then the app will send SMS using the AIM service as sort of "translator" from IM (Instant Messages) to SMS
Basically you add a +1 (Country Code) to the Number and Add that to your AIM Buddy like it was Buddy.
Messenger tends to refer to MSN messenger or possibly Yahoo IM app that is called Yahoo Instant Messenger.

APPLE Backups fail.

I am using APPLE's Backup 3 (ver.3.1.2 - v374) software to backup my files and configs on my .Mac storage. However, one of my backup tasks has been failing lately writing the following information in its log file:
Connected to .Mac
Begin backup at 2009-03-16 22:56:56.633 +0200
Scanning files...
The previous backup catalog could not be found or could not be read.
Key = Leading Edge Backup For BackupSet:9A77142B-7A87-402A-955C-00FD1E4D1C65 Target:3B4C2455-C0AA-48CA-8144-BE1088C41EC7 Value = 3D7A7C51-496C-4D18-BC1B-9ADA03AEE19D
End backup at 2009-03-16 22:57:06.836 +0200
This also happened a few weeks ago - back then, I bypassed the situation by deleting and re-creating the configuration of the failing backup.
What is wrong with this? What can I do to resolve this permanently?
TIA,
Panos Tsapralis.

Hello,
Post in the MobileMe Forum
The Mobile Me gurus hang out there and hopefully offer assistance.
In the mean time, locate this file and see if deleting it helps. com.apple.Backup.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot your Mac. See if that helps.

Alternatives to apple backup

Can anyone recommend a cheap back up application? I am using apple backup, but basically its completely screwy and its doing my head in!
Many thanks

I'm using Memeo LifeAgent. At $29.95 it's not the cheapest backup solution available, but it's ability to track changes and automatically back them up on the fly or when next you connect your backup volume is really useful, as least to the way I work. There is one issue, described in the Known Issues, that they're finalizing a fix for. Otherwise it's working great for me, and with the beta mentioned in that post, I've had no issues at all.

Corrupted/Locked out apple ID "An Unknown Error has occurred" logging into support?

I was forced to use a different apple id to log into this support community because all attempts from different devices and browsers using another ID have ended up at the password prompt with "An unknown error has occurred" at the community login screen. The ID can still be "manged" and appears to be able to make purchases from the iTunes Store over the internet. A phone incident case number 388249960 was opened and I spent over an hour on the phone with this problem. The ID in question was set up more than two years ago to help with my wife's iPad 1 which we paid 800 plus for,,, all the storage and bells and whistles. Recently she started using the iTunes store to purchase and download television series and we got in trouble because her directories were filling the c:drive on a Vista Business computer she normally uses. Before starting to deal with the problem of storage, I tried to make sure everything was up to date and downloaded/installed the latest iTunes 11.0,1,, to her machine. I already had it on another machine running Windows 7 and two older Windows XP machines. All of them were "tested" for home networking to our Apple TV so that I could go to the TV and find a computer which could be used as a source for streaming music, videos, etc., etc. all based on her ID. As of this writing, I believe all of that functionality still exists, but, when I navigate to support and try to log in using her ID and password, I get re-prompted for the password and then "Locked Out" when "An Unknown Error Has Occurred" pops up above the login via the web site.
I am writing this after much agony and travial via an obsolete instance of Windows Explorer running on Windows XP Home Premium on an old portable using a newly created Apple ID which does not appear to have the same problems logging into the support community. Can anyone out there help me?
I have gone to war with Comcast's "free" security enhancement software "Constant Guard" believing that it might be the source. This machine had it installed at one time and has had it completely removed, but... it still experiences the error when my wife's ID is used.
The issue may be related to the recently added requirement for secuity questions and recovery email addresses which I tried to address for her ID and inadvertently ran into conflict/problem with using certain other email addresses with her ID. Perhaps something is corrupted in the database for her ID, or related to problems with support for esoteric things like Microsoft's .NET enhancements which I have long been using on my computers, or possibly Constant Guard "started" the problem because it was probably running when account security data was being updated via the Apple web site? I tried to get information about what I thought was the "recovery email address" associated with her account and was told by Apple Web sites that it was "in use" as an apple ID and could not be used as her recovery address. When I called trying to confirm that this ID was "mine" I was able to provide one of two security clearance pieces of data, but not enough information to get the support person to straighten things out for me. I ended up creating "yet another" ID just to get clear of the mess.
I made a suggestion to one of the folks I spoke with that an improvement to the functionality of apple ID's would be to support "consolidation" of accounts so that if several different Apple devices had been registered with different ID's and they all belonged to the same user(s) that a "common ID" could be created.
I'm reluctant to post apple ID's in a public support forum, and would prefer to deal with this by private email. or phone.

Then contact Apple directly.
This is a user to user technical support forum. No one here has access to manage Apple ID's other than their own.
There is no Apple presence here.

How do I use Apple Backup with my new MacBook Pro?

I've been using Apple's Backup app from the old days of Mobile Me (remember when we had to pay to use Apple's cloud?). I've just bought a MacBook Pro and I transferred everything from my old iMac (early 2008 running Mavericks). Everything works fine, but my copy of Backup has reverted to demo mode, restricting me to just 100 MB per backup. It tells me that in 60 days, I will lose even that.
How do I transfer over my permissions to use this app?
Thanks!

If you have everything on your new machine, set up an iCloud account. System preferences/iCloud.

You may want to buy an external drive (they are cheap these days) and set up Time Machine on it.

Hard Drive was replaced, but now can't get Apple Backup to restore data

My iMac had a damaged hard drive, so I replaced it and reinstalled Mac OS 10.4, along with iLife 06. My iMac is now up and running again (prior to hard drive replacement it froze and was then unable to get up and running again without repeated attempts at powering down and then up).
Here's my problem. Prior to the replacement, I'd been using Apple's Backup program to backup all my iPhoto and iTunes files to an external harddrive. The files are on the external harddrive, but when I use Backup to restore them, the opened and allegedly restored files have no data in them. (I've been using "restore to alternate location" and putting the restored data in a shared folder on the iMac. Backup runs, and says the data is in this shared folder, but when I go to import data from them, they are empty.)
Fortunately, I did a wholesale copy of my old desktop to my external hard drive in July when it became clear I'd have to replace hard drive, so I was able to get most of my photo and music files restored from that. But from July to October, I used Backup exclusively to save new pictures or music and now I can't find a way to get that data restored (short of trying to pull off the old damaged harddrive).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I have to admit that the lack of response is somewhat frustrating...

How do I change the name of my movies in Apple TV from Unknown Genre

I assume I would change it in iTunes? When I go to Computers on Apple TV, I get Music, Movies etc., but my
movies are listed under "Unknown Genre"
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Not sure if you're on PC or Mac but right click on a movie and choose 'Get Info' which should give a tabbed metadata and proprerties view - one of the tabs will allow you to alter genre or add a custom one of your own.

Iphone 3Gs Backup issues - "Unknown" time stamp 01/01/2001 01:00

Since updating to iTunes 9.2 for windows my phone will not back up or sync. I deleted the old backups thinking this was the problem. Now all I get after the backup running for 20 hours straight is an "Unknown" backup time stamped 01/01/2002 01:00.

If you have an iPhone 3G, then you cannot have upgraded it to iOS 6 unless you hacked the iPhone. Did you do so, or do you really have an iPhone 3GS?
